Diagnostic Literacy Assessments

$450

The diagnostic literacy assessments are rooted in the Science of Reading (SOR) and are compliant under the Minnesota READ act. The diagnostic/screening assessments will give us data to set goals based on strengths and weaknesses. The following is included in the assessment package:

  • Phonemic Awareness Assessment

  • Phonics Inventory Assessment

  • Fluency Assessment

  • Comprehension Maze Assessment & Oral Retell Assessment

  • Spelling Inventory Assessment & Writing Analysis

  • Motivation to Read Profile

You will receive a detailed analysis of the results and recommendations for tutoring & areas of focus. You will then be offered tutoring based upon these needs with me or can take with you to share with your child’s teacher. The assessment is a great way to prepare for summer tutoring & also a solid way to start the school year by sharing with your child’s new teacher.
